Rite Here Rite Now, which was conceived by Tobias Forge and co-directed by Alex Ross Perry, captures live footage from their show at Los Angeles’ KIA Forum, behind-the-scenes material and more. The movie will feature the band members and a cast including Maralyn Facey, Alan Ursillo, Ashley McBride, and Kevin “Jesus” Kaufmann. The Trailer is coming May 9th and you can sign up below for more info on show times and ticket on sales. Ghost is currently working on the follow-up to their Impera album of 2022 followed by a year and a half of tours and festivals.
Tobias Forge commented:
Over a decade ago when GHOST got signed to Loma Vista, Tom Whalley (owner and CEO) asked what the story of the band was. He felt telling a story was vital in order to get new fans engaged. I said that because we were a new ‘baby’ band and more importantly we were an ANONYMOUS baby band, there wasn’t really a compelling story to tell. Not yet anyway. But I told him that if he wanted a story, I could come up with one. This film is the fruit of that conversation.
Co-Director Alex Ross Perry adds:
Collaborating with Tobias to expand the saga of GHOST into a feature film has been a wicked delight. This movie allowed us to be inspired by everything from silent horror to The Great Rock n’ Roll Swindle, from Ralph Bakshi to KISS Alive II. The influences were many, but above all, the ultimate goal was to make a one-of-a-kind feast not only for GHOST fans, but all lovers of the cinematic alchemy between rock spectacle and spooky delights.
Children of the World!
Finally, our debut feature film ”RITE HERE RITE NOW” will be haunting cinemas all over the globe, on June 20 & 22 only. So, pre-sales go live on May 9 and if you want to see it in a movie theatre, act fast.
